THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS
CASE REF: 1096/14
CLAIMANT: Wojciech Wiercioch
RESPONDENT: Department for Employment and Learning
DECISION
Pursuant to Article 233 of the Employment Rights Order, I determine that the respondent Department (“the Department”) ought to make the following payments to the claimant: (1) a payment of £872 in respect of unfair dismissal and (2) a payment of £582 in respect of notice pay.
Constitution of Tribunal:
Employment Judge (sitting alone): Employment Judge Buggy
Appearances:
The claimant was self-represented.
The Department was represented by Mr Neil Cruikshanks.
REASONS
1. The Department has had difficulty in obtaining documentary confirmation in respect of the sums claimed by the claimant. That is not his fault, and it seems not to be the Department’s fault. However, matters have dragged on, and the amounts at stake are relatively small.
2. Against that background, the Department and the claimant, during the course of this hearing, accepted that, on the basis of the information available to the parties, the claimant was due the sums specified above, from the Department (in the Department’s role as the statutory guarantor in respect of certain employment debts).
3. This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.
Employment Judge:
